Has anyone tried this for basal readings? Thanks!

I bought it for basal readings, and it does ok, but basal readings preferably go to two decimal points. Like 97.93 instead of 97.9. This one only goes to 97.9

I hope so, my doctor's office uses them. One of the reasons I bought this for home use. It gives consistent readings. It also gives accurate readings (sigh).

it measures to one decimal. i believe basal measures to two. and the basal ones (oral) are MUCH cheaper

YES -- mine reads CONSISTENTLY 15 to 20 points higher than at my doctor's office or on my old monitor. I hate it and am returning it!!!

I haven't tested it with most brand name meters. However I did my thesis project using this device, and I personally did the math on an electrical readout. The readings came in accurate. However once you get over a 3 digit reading the device only displays in x10 increments, so its a bit harder to determine readouts and fluctuations from a glance. This also leads to decreased accuracy the higher you go. I hope I answered you question.

Similar! Our exergen stopped working so when Braun sent this to me I was fine with it. I still prefer an ear or under-the-tongue reading, but this works in a pinch. Our pediatrician uses the exergen so it's definitely reliable.

I think that would depend on whether you are expecting screams from the spirit world or from the attendees of the physical world. If the latter, I suppose you could try the BAFX unit. The spirits may distort the readings, however.

I can't speak to "accuracy", as I don't have access to an analytical grade scale to verify the reading on the Gem Pro. But i can speak to repeatability. I put small amount of Red Dot on my scale and it read 2.72 grains. I reweighed the same sample 10 times and got eight readings at 2.72 and two readings at 2.74. I'd say that is pretty darn good. One thing I do is re-tare often, usually before weighing each sample.

Ill have my husband take a look. As an RN I am surprised just how accurate this has turned out to be, not only with oxygenation levels but heart rate as well. My husband had an inconclusive sleecomp study and we decided to do this instead. Worked great thw alarm goes off when his oxygen levels drop, and has proven to us that he does have sleep apnea.

Unless you're using it in doctor's office and comparing the Withings read to the doctor's professional read, I don't know that one can determine teh Withings accuracy. Certainly not home alone. But I can say the numbers I got from it were consistent with those I got at the doctor's office under comparable circumstances (sitting still in chair at a calm time of day).

Not a real answer, BUT - gave these to each of my kids to use on the grandkids. They no longer use them as they could never get a consistent reading. I think the technology has a ways to go.Sorry not to be of further help.

Yes. If you push the on/off button while weighing, it will "hold" the reading. Hope that helps.

Just received it yesterday and I was disappointed that it does NOT hold the reading. I am considering returning it.

Yes! Both my wife and I have separate readings. After you weigh yourself it flashes each name in sequence. Just tap when you see your name.

I don't know why the reviews are better. The wrist monitor is much easier to use. I compared mine to the docs readings and they were very close for all readings. I would take several readings along with your doc and compare the readings. You should then know how to correct your readings to what he gets. You should sit with your heart over your feet when using the wrist monitor if you are sitting back the readings won't be accurate.

I suggest a short test run in an open to air area. When I set it without my glasses, I set it wrong. It did what I had set, though. When I set it with my glasses on, it performed fine. The time setting dial is hard to read. If the test does not work properly, exchange the unit. When it works right, it is effective

Yes this should work fine since you have sufficient time window to obtain reading. I have used it to get reading of water temperature coming out of faucet and soups etc. Also used it for correct water temperature for yeast.
